Reply To: How can you do this!

Without feeding this troll, I would like to comment on the nature of the discussion:

There’s an unfortunate growing trend in our country of people becoming upset on behalf of someone else. I’ve never understood this type of attitude. I deal with it a lot here in California with regards to personal cannabis use. What I do with my own flesh vehicle is my own business. This body transports my consciousness through these 4 dimensions we all share ( there are 9 dimensions according to many shaman in the Amazon, and I believe them, I’ve experienced 5, 6, and 7 😉 ), but how I choose to use it and what tools I want to use to explore my own cognizance of reality are no one’s choice but my own.

It’s a shame that something as beautiful as religion and spirituality – things that preach love, compassion, and understanding – are often bent and manipulated to be used as implements of hate, bigotry, and oppression. I would like to invite people like MissAmy to have a mushroom trip or eat a fat brownie with me and envelop themselves in some positivity, for example, the words of Dali Lama:

“All religions are essentially the same with their goal of developing a good human heart so that we may become better human beings.”

“If the mind is dominated by hatred, the best part of the brain, which is used to judge right and wrong, does not function properly.”

“For a better, happier, more stable and civilized future, each of us must develop a sincere, warmhearted feeling of brotherhood / sisterhood.”

“If through practice of insight you develop a sense of ease, then time has no relevance. If you’re miserable, time does matter.”

“Feelings of anger, bitterness, and hatred are negative. If I kept them inside me they would spoil my body and my health. They are of no use.”
